Meet Boss Brooks.A man with two tombstones. 

“Family trees are bound to have some tangled roots, but the story that unwinds in the pages of Boss Brooks keeps getting better, in the way only a true story can. Turner and Alligood have connected century-old dots, revealing a powerful picture of the cost of family secrets. If you’ve got one buried, let the light shine in.”Demetria Kalodimos, Executive Producer, The Nashville Banner

“Boss Brooks is a stunning story, beautifully told, of a family’s search for the truth in a web of crimes from nearly a century ago. It is one of the finest true crime stories I have ever read and shows the courage it takes to seek redemption for the acts of our ancestors. This story will haunt you. And it will give you hope.”Philip Lee Williams, author of 21 books and member of the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame

“I could not put it down it was so intriguing. I remember it being a short night of sleep because I didn’t want to stop reading it. We just never know what secrets are being held for generations.”Susan Cowan Schmidt

“I had the privilege of previewing this book because my grandfather’s records were used in producing it. I literally could not put it down until I finished it. I recommend that everyone get a copy and read it. I had heard about this mystery story almost all of my life, but until Kathy and Leon unraveled it, I did not know what really happened.”John J. Ross, Attorney

“I’ve just spent a 15 hour flight reading your manuscript. It is magnificent. I couldn’t put it down. This is such an important story, and everyone with ties to it owes you a debt of gratitude for telling it. It is so well researched and beautifully written. I can’t wait to get a copy of it…and read it again.”Michael Russell, Mediator and Arbitrator

“TRULY AMAZING! I read this when it was in manuscript form and it is a wonderful (true) story! For anyone who likes to read—I highly recommend that you get and read this book! You won’t be sorry!”Bill Brennan

“I was lucky to have been able to read the draft of this book. It’s an incredibly fascinating and captivating story; and at times, profoundly heart rending.”Joyce Grizzle

“Told like a true crime novel, the suspense in Boss Brooks builds with every page. With pitch-perfect prose and superior investigative reporting, the story of a man with two headstones unfolds with the ease of a fine silk blanket uncovering the who, what, when and why a man would fake his own death, leaving his beloved family on the brink of destitution, only to start over with another. Equal parts intriguing and infuriating, Boss Brooks ultimately leaves the reader not only satisfied with its message of forgiveness but thirsting for more.”Lisa Patton, bestselling author of Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter
